With the Salsa off at the LBS I'm having another go at the Yo seat post. Full can of rost off in and........nothing yet :twisted: this one is gonna go to the bitter end.

you are a patient man, I would have got industrial on it's arse by now.

and prob have fecked up the frame in the process :roll:

The temptation is strong I've got some more bits coming, M900 canti's and M901 Lever/shifters Really just a set of cranks and wheels away.

xtr hubs and mavic rims?

that's the general idea though the thought of maybe a Japanese or American rim appeals. I did think of building the Hope hubs up into a nice wheelset but they don't seem to go with the rest of the build.

Campag rims would be nice. They sponsored the factory team BITD too. Cantis are always a right bastard to set up on Campy rims though.

Whit a bunch of blethering gas bags, takes me ages to figure out whats being said on my less frequent visits than the rest of youse lot :roll:

Right now its a wee bit shorter and Big ecks going to give a lap a square go i may just try a wee bit to give it a go to. :roll:

I must state there is a 90% chance I'll no be there and only a 10% possibility that I might be there so put me out of your minds unless I line up on the line with ya
